Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it turns a deep golden brown color and smells nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine browned butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until blended.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chunks using a spatula or a wooden spoon.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop 2-tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your decadent brown butter chocolate chunk cookies with a cold glass of milk!
